Symbol DS6708-DL Series
General Purpose Handheld Digital Imager Scanner
FEATURES
Embedded and server-based
parsing agents
Enable users to read the
PDF-417 bar code on a
US driver’s license and
use that information for a
multitude of applications
including auto-population of
a credit or loyalty card form,
age verification or returns
monitoring
Support for all major
1D, PDF, postal and 2D
symbologies
Delivers application flexibility;
eliminates need for multiple
devices — and associated
costs
RSM (Remote Scanner
Management) Ready
Lowers IT expenses and
TCO by enabling remote
management from a
central location
6 ft./1.8m drop specification,
tempered glass exit window
Designed to endure the
rigors of everyday use for
maximum reliability and
uptimes; reduces downtime
and TCO
Utilizing driver’s license information to increase
productivity and reduce liability
The Symbol DS6708-DL combines all the features
of Motorola’s standard DS6708 imager, such as
omni-directional 1D/2D bar code scanning, with
embedded and server-based parsing agents that
enable users to read the PDF-417 bar code on a
US driver’s license and use that information for a
multitude of applications including auto-population
of a credit or loyalty card form, age verification or
returns monitoring. With a simple scan of a driver’s
license, retailers can increase efficiencies, reduce
manual keying errors and ensure that they are
complying with local, state and federal regulations
regarding the sale of certain items such as tobacco
and alcohol.
Two solutions, one scanner
Motorola’s unique solution offers two parsing
options, which are both available in one model.
The server-based solution enables retailers to
develop an application in a centralized processing
environment. The embedded solution appeals
to retailers without central services who need a
solution that works with multiple interfaces as well
as all operating systems and host configurations.
Because the parsing is done in the scanner and the
output is controlled by the user, the scanner can
easily be used in all environments with very little
start up effort. And, because there is no additional
software or licensing fees, you are up and ready to
go right out of the box. Both the server-based and
embedded solutions are available in one model,
making it a wise choice for customers of all sizes.
You’ll have the latest DMV updates
Because different states use different data formats in
their driver’s licenses and these formats change from
time to time, state by state, the Symbol DS6708-DL by
Motorola offers a complete solution that includes yearly
updates for new format releases from each state,
helping to ensure that your investment is protected
from the start.
Traditional scanning and more
The versatile Symbol DS6708-DL from Motorola not
only offers PDF-417 reading and parsing capabilities,
it also delivers the functionality of a traditional 1D
and 2D bar code scanner, enabling you to meet
additional data capture needs as required.
An outstanding return on investment
The Symbol DS6708-DL reduces capital and
operating expenses by eliminating the need to
purchase, manage and support additional devices
and separate bar code scanners for different
symbologies. Fewer devices to deploy significantly
reduce the time and costs associated with training
— and positively impacts productivity. The ability to
remotely track, deploy and upgrade Symbol DS6708DL scanners reduces typical management costs.
